For me it's '65, '64 followed by the '63 by the smallest of margins.

By 1965 Pontiac got it right.  1) '65  2) '64  3) '63  But the real beauty arrived in 1966.

While the '65 is more impressive and stands out more , I much prefer the style lines of the'64 and then the'63 leaving the more impressive '65 to 3rd place.

I prefer the more linear lines of the 1963 Grand Prix, followed by the 1964 and finally 1965.

Is the last photo possibly a '66? I only ask because of the chrome on the rocker panels and the split grille is one piece, not divided into 3 pieces.

For me  it's 1963, one of my favorite cars of the decade. So clean and lean, without bulk or too much decoration. It would be on my short list if it was affordable, but it isn't anymore.

After that, I love the 1965, but the 1966 pictured less.

65, 64, 63.  The 65 just makes a statement.  If you want to be seen then drive me.

I like the 64 just a bit more than the 63 and the 65, although impressive, was getting a little too wide in the hips.

For me the '63 is by far the best Grand Prix Pontiac ever made, with absolutely gorgeous, crisp lines.  The '64 places second, also very lovely but with less crisp lines IMHO.  The completely redesigned '65 Pontiac is a gorgeous car indeed but I'm not as keen on the grille of the GP version.  I'm praying for the '63 to be done in 1:43 soon.
